Ok, so most of the posts I've written so far are a little intense and I decided that this week's post was going to be called 'The Silly Post'. Unfortunately, because my professor is in town, we're just too busy and I can't put the time in to make a fun/silly post. The silly post was going to have silly pictures and silly stories, but that will take some work so it will have to wait! Today I'm just going to post some fun pictures of me and my housemates engaging in some rest and relaxation.
This past weekend I went to swim and layout at a four star hotel with Daphne. I drank some vodka limeades and read Daph's funny magazines from Holland. Now I know all the famous royalty of the Netherlands! It was really nice to do some self-care and be away and relax. We really got rejuvenated lounging by the pool. Here are some pictures of the hotel:
This past weekend we also went to an amazing party. There's this guy, Alfred, who grew up at Botshabelo and now he works for the family and we have gotten pretty close. He's the one that picked me up at the airport! His girlfriend, Annmarie, had her 30th birthday at this awesome venue in Hekport (just a few kilometers away from Magaliesburg). He invited us and we got to spend an evening with some locals. This group of friends is especially progressive here in South Africa because with them blacks and whites exist and live amongst each other in a healthy way. This is so cool because they are the children of Apartheid and they're living in peace with one another. Anyways, we had such a good time! Enjoy these goofy pictures:
^^^ That's Daphne and I above. Niel's is the one in the black and red Hawaiian shirt making weird faces. Alfred is the one in the nice red button-down. Annmarie is the one in the black dress with the Heineken. Also, my lovely necklace was donated to me by someone at the party because I wasn't wearing any red and the party theme was red and black. I didn't exactly choose it, ha!
Sorry this post is short! I'll make a post of the safari pictures later this weekend.
Love you all,
Christy
